This sounds like a quick fix? I'm tired of over-hyped solutions that don't work.
This is definitely not a quick fix. The program is geared at implementing rapid learning tactics, so there will be a heavy emphasis on putting in the sweat and grit to transform your learning life.
What gives you the credibility to talk about this?
I'm just a student like you. I don't have a doctorate or access to coaching the best minds in the world. The holistic learning strategy is my attempt to explain how extraordinary learners can do what they do. After originally sharing my findings, I have had the chance to interact with hundreds of people trying to apply them.
Since accomplishing my own modest successes using holistic learning, I've started working with small groups of people to continue refining the approach. Even in the early phases of these experiments, participants have managed to improve their studying habits.
Are these ideas backed by learning research?
My emphasis has been on trying to pinpoint the strategy smart people use to learn, rather than rehash existing findings. However, the basic concepts of holistic learning are based on how your brain stores information: through connections.
I've read other books on studying, how is this one different?
Reading is easy, action is what matters. This program isn't a book, but an interactive membership designed to train rapid learning tactics into your study habits. It requires a lot more work than a typical book, but also, better results.
Additionally, most books cover the basic tools for being more productive and organized when it comes to your studying. While this can save some time, it doesn't do much to improve the way you learn. Holistic learning provides a different strategy for learning entirely, so the need for repeatedly re-studying the same information is reduced.
The program comes backed with a 60 Day Guarantee, but I understand that it isn't for everyone.

Testimonials:
Learn More, Study Less
Testimonials are hand-picked, so they are not average customers, but customers who have specifically written to thank me or review the book.
I'm recommending this ebook because I believe it to be of great value for anyone trying to learn something, especially if you're a student. Scott has taken the process of learning and has hit upon the methods that most quick learners use, breaking it down into easily understandable and practical steps that any of us can implement. If you want to learn like the best learners do--the people who make learning seem easy, like Scott--this method will help you get there."
- Leo Babauta, founder of Zen Habits
“I've since used Scott's resources to develop my learning technique. Learning becomes easier and fun because of how I now retain information 10x better.”
- Tommy Pang, writer of Option Mentality
Thank you for existing. When, I read Learn More, Study Less I was a mess. I had no direction except school, and even that made me miserable. Despite being in advanced programs during highschool, I was only a C student. I wasn't doing too much better in college. Until that is, my friend lent me your book.
Learn More, Study Less made sense--it didn't sound like bullshit. I used you as motivation. Any time a moment seemed to hard, or too stressful, I'd whip open your blog and read something. Before I knew it, I was back hard at work.
Now I am a completely different person. I live a blessed, full, life now. I can't thank you enough, but I'm of the belief that people who deserve thanks very rarely hear it. So, here it is: Thank you Scott, for everything you have done.

"I read your book, Learn More, Study Less, and it totally blew my reality I used to memorize everything before, now I'm using holistic learning. I recommend that everyone reads your book. You have many satisfied customers"
- Parminder
I have read Learn More, Study Less, and I think it's great, and has certainly helped, and continues to help me learn better than I had been.

A while ago I read your article on holistic learning, and also downloaded the e-book. I was a first year university student then and had gotten through high school mainly by memorization and late night cramming. When I got to university, I nearly failed most of my courses. I was taking an introductory course for organic chemistry, general physics, etc. and the load was too much for my previous study tactics. It was the first time that I would study well in advance and still perform horribly on an exam, and pretty dark time for me.
I appreciate your articles because they gave me hope that maybe the problem was not that I was not cut out for my chosen profession, or that I should give up on a lifelong goal, but instead there was a problem with the way I was organizing things. The next semester, I came across your articles during midterm exams, and I've certainly been doing a lot better.
